Diosdado Cabello Rondón, first vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), this Monday, during a meeting with the media, reacted to the Colombian Senate's infamous request to President Gustavo Petro to recognize Edmundo González as president.

Cabello, recalled that Pablo Escobar was a senator in the Colombian Congress; in this sense, he assured that “it is infiltrated by narco-paramilitarism” and questioned that “since when have they been the National Electoral Council (CNE) to say who won or not? They come with orders from the empire.”

“The majority of those who voted with that decision on Venezuela are linked to paramilitarism, drug trafficking, and if they don't, they take their toll. Unlike Venezuela, we are free and sovereign. Here the United States (the United States) has no right to say anything!”

Regarding the position of President Petro, the party's first vice-president stressed that what that New Granada parliamentary body said is not binding on the president. “They don't achieve anything with that, because we don't care what the Colombian Senate says is inconsequential,” he said.

“We must be clear, our country is the jewel in the crown that they are looking for... For them, destabilizing has cost them a lot! on the contrary, what they have achieved is to strengthen us internally”.

Also, Diosdado Cabello recalled that tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of the assassination ordered by Álvaro Uribe Vélez against Venezuelan student leader Robert Serra.
